Thank you! (If you haven’t noticed this before, there is a really pretty yellow-orange donate button over there on your right.) We wanted to post this quick note to let you know that we are here, the people on the “backend” that pay for server space, domain registration, and all the other things that go in to bringing you this great online community to share information about a topic that’s hard to find information about.

In fact, that’s our whole deal, if you recall why Mark and Megan started up this space in the first place. It’s also why Eric decided to get involved and make Jpouch.net a dedicated website, not just a WordPress.com blog. Detailed photos and personal stories of the J-pouch process, and really all the living that goes on, is why we’re here. Many of our bloggers have gone on to write their own blogs, and we couldn’t be happier for them. We’re also happy that they still drop in from time to time to say hello and provide us with much anticipated updates.

Once again, thank you so very much for contributing, financially, emotionally, verbally, and silently, to this great community. Really, thanks.

Hey, we’ve all been sick, had surgeries, or been visiting someone who has. Sometimes the computers don’t work in the hospital, or even on a sunny day at the beach. Now we have a new way for you to get your Jpouch.net fix – we’re mobile. If you have: android, aspen, blackberry9500, blackberry9530, cupcake, dream, incognito, iphone, ipod, opera mini, webmate, webos our site will now dynamically redraw itself just for YOU. Yup, that’s sweet. You’re welcome.

Oh, and I’ve made the comments over to the right scroll so we can all see who’s talking about what. Your comments are what make this site great, so keep talking!

This week, Boots’ story has been viewed many many times, and his photos are finally up! Also, quite a few of you had some opinions about Prednisone (and rightly so), while others supplied good examples of movies to rent while in the hospital. Thanks for another great week, and three cheers to a healthy life!

Sneak Peak: The Next UC Story Design

We’re working hard on the UC Story redesign, in fact, the name of the blog just might change to Jpouch Life (that is, if it’s ok with you).

And, while Megan has completely schooled me in color theory, I think I still have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to comments and the general layout of the site.

With hopes you’ll like it, and many more hopes for your good health!
